The Tory rightwinger routinely forwarded correspondence, with at least 290 documents attached, when she was the government's top legal officer between 2021 and 2022, according to a freedom of information request.

Ministers are banned from sharing sensitive emails and documents about government business with their private accounts because weaker security means they are at greater risk of unauthorised access.
